What is defective work equipment?

If your job role involves working with machinery and equipment – this could be construction, engineering, or factory-based work among others – then the likelihood of being in an accident and needing to make a defective equipment injury claim rises significantly.

Despite rules and regulations being in place to mitigate accidents of this nature, poor maintenance, wear and tear, ageing equipment, and defective parts can all lead to the machinery not performing as it should, even if the user is experienced and knowledgeable in its uses.  

Injuries in the workplace can also be caused by below-standard inspections that don’t happen frequently enough to catch potential issues, little or no health and safety assessments – this is in contravention of the Health and Safety Executive’s minimum requirements for a workplace – or safety equipment not being readily available.  

 

What are the more common injuries caused by defective work equipment?

When working with machinery, there are many potential injuries that can occur following an accident, ranging from broken bones, loss of limbs, and paralysis, to blindness, electric shocks, and burns.

With varying degrees of injury and treatment requirements, a personal injury compensation claim can be hugely beneficial if you are affected by a non-fault accident and seeking a return to some form of normality.

 

Who needs to ensure safely functioning equipment at work?

It is the responsibility of your employer to ensure the equipment in the workplace is functioning properly and safely. If your employer owns the equipment, they must ensure proper maintenance to mitigate defective machinery as much as possible.

 

I had an accident at work that was not my fault and decided to contact Winn Solicitors to enquire about compensation. My case was not by any means straight forward or easy to work out, it was a rather complicated matter… Winns were there the entire time. [If] I had any questions, they were in touch with me immediately if there were any additional details needed, and they [were] very helpful when I did not understand something.

What is EL insurance?

Employers’ Liability insurance is the cover that all employers should have – this is required by law – so they can cater for compensation should a situation arise whereby this becomes a possibility.

When an employee makes a claim against their employer for personal injury compensation, following an accident that wasn’t their fault, the compensation will come from the insurance company as opposed to the company directly.

 

Thank you for your help in obtaining due compensation for an accident at work in such a professional manner, I would not hesitate to use the services again or recommend to friends and acquaintances.

How much is my claim worth?

The amount your claim for compensation is worth is based on a number of factors that will be unique to your situation.

Defective equipment injury claims are different from claim to claim and so it is difficult to attach a figure to it without diligently going through the details, and repercussions, of the accident.

Factors such as the nature of the accident, the injuries sustained, the complexities of those injuries, and the medical input required in the aftermath, both short and long-term, can have an impact on how much compensation you are entitled to by law.

 

How long have I got to make a claim?

When making a claim, you have three years from the date of the accident to begin the process. 

There are a few exceptions to this rule, which can be explained to you by our expert team of advisors who specialise in injuries at work.
